The position is a trainee post, jointly funded by Northern Ireland Screen, and is open to anyone who is determined to have a career in the VFX industry. The successful candidate will be placed on a contract from August 2018 – March 2019, (NMW/NLW) and will have the opportunity to work on the highest profile projects that post in Northern Ireland.

A willingness to learn and self-motivation are crucial to this position and some previous experience with compositing packages would be very beneficial but not essential.
